This topic applies only on the z/OS operating system.

Starting the Customization Dialog

Before you can start the Customization Dialog, you must install the WebSphere® Application Server for z/OS® product and make the product libraries available to the z/OS system on which the Customization Dialog will run.

All product libraries should be cataloged. The Customization Dialog does not use the product directory (/usr/lpp/zWebSphere/V6R0 by default), but you must mount it and make it available before the Customization Dialog's generated jobs can run.

You will need the ability to log on to TSO from a real or emulated 3270-type terminal. Your logon display must support 3270 emulation and be set to a minimum of 32 rows by 80 columns (32 x 80) in order for the ISPF Customization Dialog to run. The following steps outline how to change your display size setting if you use the IBM® Personal Communications Workstation program. Complete all the steps before you start your TSO session.
  1. In the menu bar of the session window, select Communication.
  2. From the Communication window, select Configure.
  3. In the window that appears, press the Session Parameters button.
  4. Use the pull-down menu to select a screen-size setting between 32x80 and 62x160.
  5. Press the OK button until you are back at the session window.

You will need a TSO user ID that has READ access to the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product libraries.

Starting the dialog: The BBOWSTRT command

To start the Customization Dialog, log on to TSO and invoke the BBOWSTRT exec from the SBBOCLIB product library using the following EXEC command.
Note: If you enter the command from TSO Option 6, just type in the command. If you enter the command on the ISPF command line, you must prefix it with "TSO".

EXEC 'was_hlq.SBBOCLIB(BBOWSTRT)' 'options'

where the parameter:
was_hlq
is the data set name high-level qualifier for your WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product libraries.
Note: The dialog libraries (SBBOCLIB, SBBOPxxx, SBBOMxxx, SBBOSLIB and SBBOSLB2) must have the same data set name high-level qualifier in order for the Customization Dialog to allocate the libraries correctly.
Be sure to use the was_hlq value that corresponds to the level of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS product code that you will use to run the resulting WebSphere Application Server for z/OS cells.
You can also specify the following options, separated by spaces and surrounded in a single set of quotes:
APPL(value)
Specifies the application name you intend to use. This provides for separate sets of Customization Dialog variables saved from one Customization Dialog session to the next. The default value is BBO6. See Customization Dialog variables for details.
LANG(value)
Specifies the national language you want the Customization Dialog to use. Specify "ENUS" for English or "JAPN" for Japanese. The default value is ENUS.
Note: Some messages will still appear in English even if you specify another national language, using the LANG option.
PROD(list)
Specifies a list of WebSphere Application Server for z/OS add-on products that are also customized using the dialog. The list should consist of one or more three-character product identifiers from the following table, separated by spaces. If you do not want to customize any add-on products, omit the PROD option.
BBZ WebSphere Business Integration
PRODHLQ(list)
Specifies a list of high-level qualifiers for the WebSphere Application Server for z/OS add-on products you specified with the PROD option. The list should consist of one high-level qualifier for each entry in the PROD list, given in the same order. If you do not want to customize any add-on products, omit the PRODHLQ option.
If you are starting the dialog for the first time or using a new APPL value, you will first see a copyright screen. Press ENTER to continue.
You should then see the Customization Dialog main menu, similar to the following:
------------  WebSphere Application Server for z/OS Customization     --------

   2  Create stand-alone application server nodes. You must complete         
      Option 1 before starting this option.

   4  Migrate V5.x Nodes to V6 Nodes.                                        
If you do not see the main menu, review the steps and requirements above.
